Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

[Nox]

Guilt was not a feeling Nox had often, but he felt guiltly leaving Aria to clean up their mess alone now that he was going out to play with his friends. Meeting his sister wasn't supposed to go this way, he wasn't upset anymore than it had, and he felt better knowing that Bas thought of his sister as his own sister. Though Aurora didn't look happy about that fact, even though she tried to hide it.

Nox decided to give Aria a call and check on things. When she answered Nox heard the water running in the background. She wasn't pleased he had left, but she had understood, and if she'd still be working, he would have gone to help out. He after all helped make the mess. He grinned at the memories of the beasts they had taken down. There were only a small handful of them, but still it was a glorious fight. Aria feigned anger, but he could hear the light in her voice, she must have just talked to Lucas. Lucky man.

Nox returned to his friends and sister and dragged them out the door. Bas had plans with the lady in red, and he wanted to play with some fire. He wrapped his arm around his sister and she lead the way. Bas' car wasn't built for many, and that really was fine with Nox. He turned to his bud and grinned. "Since you've been taken such good care of my sister you can take her to her place. I'll catch up, me and Pytor will take the metro."
He turned to his sister and handed her his wallet. "Address please."


She took it and frowned. "This is new."


Nox grinned. "I'll explain later Duckling. We've got a lot to talk about."
Aurora typed in the address and Nox took his wallet back. He leaned down and kissed his sister on the forehead. "I'll see ya soon, Sis. I missed you."


He and Pytor headed off to the nearest metro station.

Bas and Aurora would arrive to the place first, the metro didn't stop for another several minutes, and it wasn't far. He enjoyed the near solitude, it gave him time to think. Pytor was exceptionally quite, he wondered what was going through his head. He wondered how the two met his sister, and why they had helped her meet him. Almost like she was afraid of him. He sighed. So many questions.

They got off the metro and walked the few blocks to what looked like an abandoned warehouse. Nox knocked and Aurora opened the door smiling. The place was large, and had moving walls. That could be useful. it didn't look much like a home, but Aurora knew what she was doing. She was always keen on safe houses. "So who showed you this joint? And why were you looking?"


Aurora smiled. "Why Bas of course."


Nox frowned and he turned to his friend. "This come with any strings attached?"
He knew Bas was not a savory sort, he walked the line, he was a thug, there was no question about it. He didn't need to be pulled into any mobster dealings, he had enough with the friggin Atharim and the fact they would hunt him down if they knew what he was.
